Isaac, with his hood drawn up and cloak tightly wrapped about himself, strolled through the streets of Limsa Lominsa. It had been more than a few years since he had visited the port city and it would have been all too soon that he again visited, but his business had led him here, much to his dislike. He liked the sea all fine and well, some of his fondest memories as a young man were out at sea with his sister and their former mentor, but Limsa Lominsa had bad memories associated with it, often times leaving a sour taste in the back of his mouth at their recollection.
He focused his mind on his task as he walked along the streets, absently dodging the people in the growing crowd as he neared the market wards, his finger idly stroking the cross guard of the sword at his hip, also concealed by his cloak. Though he was trained in its use, Isaac preferred his bow over the blade, but he had left his bow with Aaralyn, his Highlander traveling companion who waited just outside the city, saying that if push came to shove, the bow would draw less attention than her magick if she needed to make a hasty retreat.
Isaac was jarred from his reverie as shouts rang out above the crowd. He couldn't make out exactly what was said over the drum of voices from people haggling with merchants and hawkers selling their wares, but he could clearly make out the word 'theif'.
As the progression rounded a corner, Isaac could make out a young Miqo'te running from a merchant and city guards. There was something else that caught his eye, something large by comparison to the small fellow, but whatever it was was swallowed up by the crowd.
As the fleeing Miqo'te drew closer to his position, Isaac took a few steps to the side into a group of people, hoping to blend in. His height, at five-foot seven inches, was generally tall for his race and he was well built, though not bulky, he had a little trouble blending in as, much to his irritation, the crowd around him was mostly shorter than he was. Being the only fully cloaked person didn't help either.
Nearly faster than he could follow, mostly because his attention was on the younger male, a large man stepped out and and hit the Miqo'te in the back of he head, causing him to stumble. Isaac was sure the Miqo'te would have at least been knocked unconscious, if not seriously injured, but to his surprise the young man stumbled, caught himself, then whirled around in an aggressive manner, ready to meet the challenge.
Isaac could feel the familiar tingle of Aether course through his body as the boy summoned a Carbunkle. He watched with rapt attention, now, his piercing hawk-like gaze taking in the action. His hand firmly gripping the hilt of his sword.
